Philip is correct.
The type of projection has nothing to do with geological or surficial features. Its only a way to show a curved surface on a flat map, ie, converting 3D to 2D.
I believe the the closest active volcano to either the N or S pole is Mt Erebus, about 77° South. Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries, and there are no active plate boundaries at either of the poles. Erebus is a "hot spot" volcano similar to the Hawaiian islands.

Maybe no volcanos are near the poles. How near are we talking about here? It seems to me most volcanos would be under the ocean near the equator but some are ~60 degrees from the equator. Thats 30 degrees from the poles.

The projection has nothing to do with what is shown. It only affects the shape and relative size of land masses.
